Yup. My phone usually notifies be of a transaction before a teller even hands back my card.
This actually came in handy about a year ago when my number got stolen. I was sitting at my desk and heard my phone vibrate twice in quick succession. It showed 2 charges at a grocery store in Florida (I am in Chicago). I immediately put a block on my card through Simples app and notified Simple about the fraudulent charges. It made a very scary situation easy to handle.
- woodchuck64 12y agoWow. My cards seem to have no more than a 6 month max-time-until-fraud despite extreme care, so I'm sold on this.
- quandrum 12y agoYeah, not as scary as a stolen credit card, but my Simple card was used by a bar tender to pay someone else's tab. I was able to correct the mistake before anything else happened because I knew before the receipt had printed that the card had been used.
- __david__ 12y agoI love that about Simple. It's what prompted me to stop getting receipts. I used to keep them, "just in case". But I never validated against my bank statement--it's just too much of a pain. This way I can instantly see it's correct and that I have a record of it. I quite like my Simple card.
